Free screening of the documentary 'Everest: The Other Side', directed by Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, about skiing the North Face of Everest.
MK Gallery is screening Everest: The Other Side on Saturday 28 November at 2.00pm, with a second showing on Tuesday 1 December at 4.20pm. It's a documentary that follows elite ski mountaineers Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson, who fell in love while reaching the top of their sport and shared a dream to climb and ski the direct North Face of Everest.
That particular route is described as the most difficult and dangerous climb on the mountain, and the most coveted ski line on earth. While thousands have reached the summit via Nepal's southeast ridge, only a handful have made it to the top by this route, and no one has ever successfully skied down. The film tracks Morrison and Nelson as they take that on.
Behind the camera are Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, the same BAFTA and Academy Award-winning directors who made Free Solo in 2018. They directed and produced this one too, and it runs for 110 minutes. The film features Jim Morrison, Hilaree Nelson and Mikey Schaefer, and was produced by Shannon Dill, Anna Barnes, Bob Eisenhardt and Janet Yang.
